And how do you know that a $150 set from somewhere else wouldn't suit your listening preferences better? Why do you assume that mainstream gear is crap? Typically far from it. You guys highlighted exactly the problem that exists when buying a set of recommendations from people on the internet. Glowing reviews of what you have, but with no detail on what you compared them to and why. Even then, front stages are rather personal in what sounds good to anyone particular person as we all have different tastes. And of course, the coup de grace is ignoring the installation in all of those comments which I have yet to see anyone address in this thread yet (and in hardly ANY front stage threads). Either way in this case the OP is buying a set of speakers on a budget. His budget is such that no matter what he buys there are SERIOUS compromises put into the design of that comp set. All of them have cut serious corners on the crossovers and mostly have even used boutique materials for marketing purposes when in general a more tried and true design would be better. Personally I'd MUCH rather decide with my ears and even end up with a less than "home run" instead of swinging at pitches that aren't even close to the plate. And again, if they sound great to you isn't that the set you want?

If you can't listen to them, I'd cross them off my list. Seriously.

Going to test the cruise control and see if it will hold 3.8mph or so

Ok, but should you want some just let me know. I am more than happy to send you some. Have fun fishing with the little man! Thanks Going to use the rod holder more to hold a grill than to fish, but will troll for muskies as we put around.

Occasionally I use a lanyard to wire my cap if I am driving over 65mph on the water, but only for fitted. For universal fit caps I put them over the throttle control of the boat as it is less annoying than having the cap whip around.

I'd expect the L7's to win handily and if you ever gain the space when you port those puppies you will REALLY gain.

If you cross anything over at 80Hz you will not have midbass. As for what the driver can do, the last one I'd pick is the AQ crap. Their design offering is meant to appeal to someone who likes output only and has no regard for quality. By definition this will be a peaky driver that doesn't do well either low OR high, but has a tuning that makes a boom at very small range of notes. I wouldn't even bother listening to them. A subset of one with nothing to compare will teach you nothing. IMO the SDC is a driver that I flat out don't understand why anyone would buy. The response is a complete joke, the companies marketing is complete BS, and for the same dollars there are better solutions no matter what your goals. In your case in particular I think it is a bad choice. Of course, that being said. The install will make or break it, but why handicap yourself with an AQ to begin with?

Don't worry about the butyl Neal, I managed to take an old radiator hose and thin it out using my angle grinder and it worked great.

Buying a set of comps you haven't heard based on random people from the internets subjective opinions is flat out dumb IMO. Buy the ones that sound the best to YOU.

They had to, sound like crap and no one should pay what they were asking.

Should probably do that myself.

Depends on what I have laying around. I wouldn't be able to get to it until ~Thursday at the earliest. I think some rubber will actually be better. Found an old radiator hose, got excited as it was 2" external, fit in the rod holder perfect, measure 1.75" ID and then I tried to use it and realized when I measured the ID with the hose in it that I was compressing it more than I could on the round surface. About a 1/16" too thick. Perhaps I'll cut a longer piece, staple it to a board and hit the other side with the belt sander. That ought to smell good, lol.

Way less than 0.8%

How thick is it?

btw, remind me not to borrow your phone to put up to my ear.

The squirts in the shifter isn't so good.

TOP

or is it...

wait, that's the RTMS

Or in this case he

That's what she said

Sure is wide, just wish it was long too

The tuna can?

Actually I like the super massive ole. Just need someone from the South to pronounce it like olé
